There is something captivating about vintage milk delivery trucks, machines that reflect a time when daily life was shaped by simple routines and direct connections between producer and customer. Among the most iconic is the Divco milk truck, instantly recognizable for its rounded bodywork and stand-up driving position designed for multi-stop routes.

The example shown here is a Divco 10B “slant-back shorty,” last used in 1983 by Boe’s Dairy of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. Since then it has been stored indoors and still carries the faded dairy script on its flanks. According to the listing, it originally ran a Continental four-cylinder with a manual transmission; both engine and gearbox have been removed and are not included, so a trailer is required.

Divco, the Detroit Industrial Vehicle Company, built purpose-made delivery trucks for decades, and the 10-series trucks are among the most familiar shapes seen on American milk routes. The stand-up driving layout, flat load floor, and tight turning radius made them ideal for door-to-door service. Despite surface rust and the missing powertrain, this 10B retains the signature profile, grille, and compact proportions that make Divcos so recognizable. For a restorer, it’s a straightforward, honest project: a solid body, authentic dairy livery, and a clear story from working life to storage. It’s an inviting platform for a faithful restoration, a period-correct mechanical swap, or a sympathetic preservation build. Find it for sale at $6,700 here in Fargo, ND.
